both natty and jaunty, to say nothing of
the compliment in it to one of the pres
ent heroes of France. But the Boul-
anger has not entirely passed from
notice, and is classed among the
desirable hats. Models in felt
have the brim faced with velvet,
and the trimming massed high
In front, with plume la militaire to
sweep back over the left side of the
crown. The sailor hat is continued,
and is among the prime favorites for
young ladies. Severe hats, trimmed
only with a ribbon band and fiat bow,
are affected by school girls; but the dis
tlnctlve style of the moment for adjust
ing the trimming is bow of tall loops
sustaining cocks plume, or blondine
plume holding up the brim at the back
or at the left side of the back. The
jockey cap is novelty of a rather &C.
centric description, and is only admissi-
bic in black. l thought one such cap
looked well in black velvet, the folds
OF the material round the crown fast
ened at the side by paste buckle be-
meath small plume of black ostrich
tips. Some of the felt hats are trimmed
with colOred ribbons alone; others have
added to the ribbon plumage to match,
or OF different color or shade. Among
the latter l noted RubenS hat of dark
blue felt (bound with galloon), Or
namented with broad blue watered
ribbon and two scarlet wings tipped
with white. A russet-brown. broad
brimmed. lOw-crOwned felt hat, edged
with cocks feather trimming to match,
and Ornamented with a garter of brown
ribbon velvet, backed with satin of
lighter shade. A seal-brown felt of the
same shape, and trimmed with golden
beige ribbon and two plumes of natural
dark green and crimsOn-dyed cocks
feathers, set one ON each side, with
herOn's head in the center. A soft black
felt hat with rough edge, turned up at
the back with bow of very wide black
watered ribbon and two gray wings. A
similar one in beige felt is turned up
behind with plume of ostrich feathers
in two or three shades of bright brown.
Both brOad-brimmed soft felt hats and
others in
FIRMLY BLOCKED
felt are trimmed with ribbons, often OF
a very bright tint, such as have seldom
been seen hitherto on forms of this sort.
Two of the former description, in soft
black felt, are Ornamented respectively
with wide brimstOne-yellOw watered
ribbon and bows of cream white mixed
with water-creSS green faille ribbon,
with satin border. A stiff,
high-crewned brown felt hat has a
piece of shot pale blue and
beige watered ribbon, brocaded
with spots of the two cOlOrs. Scarlet,
cream-white, golden beige, heliotrope,
old pink, pale gray shot with straw
berry, birthstone yellow, absinthe
green and moss green, dark green shot
with pink, dove color, aud many other
cOlors and shades are applied to black
and neutral-tinted felt hats, and in some
cases, where the nature of the color
permits, to felts of the same shade,
satin. In the smaller hats of the SITTER
shapes the ideas of the several last
seasons, somewhat modified in the tall,
slightly tapering crown, and the brim
rolled at the sides, after the manner of
the brim of the English walking hat,
are repeated. Hats of this shape of
Milan braid, manufactured especially
Tor autumn wear, have the brim faced
with velvet, a wide band of bias velvet
surrounding the crown, and in
front great tall drapery bow of vel
vet sustaining tuft of nOdding ostrich
tips, or mOnture of fancy feathers. An
illustrative model of straw braid, in the
peculiar tone of dark gray fancifully
styled ''elepnanUS Dredtn, mas the Idc-
ings and trimmings of black velvet, and
the tuft of tips in a changeable, black
ish-gray tint. And just here we will
take occasion to remark that, following
the lead in Paris, straw braids are now
used much later in the autumn than
feFmerly-the fashion finding willing
acceptance in the states south of US,
where the felt head-dresses are warm
and uncomfortable until winter sets in.
The hats of felt and hatters' plush, of
the close, stiff shapes, have the brims
bound with galloon, with no need of
facing, and the trimming is bias band
of velvet around the crown, with bow
of velvet or ribbon at the front or at the
left of the front, supplemented by tuft
of ostrich tips, or mOnture of fancy
feathers.
